Thought for Today ~


"I reckon I need:  a cook-housekeeper, a daily woman twice a week for cleaning, and a gardener, all loyal unpaid slaves.  However, in their absence, I try to juggle all these things with a minimum of time and effort ... Also, I would like a secretary to cope with all my business letters.  The only writers I've ever heard of who had all these various helpmates were invariable members of the Eng upper classes.  We soldier on, cussing somewhat.
"All well here, really.  Odd, though.  I love this place. . ."  ~ Margaret Laurence
